Fuels Global Warming

Fuels Global Warming

Global warming:

threatens to destroy an already-damaged Great Barrier Reef. Half the Great Barrier Reef’s corals have been killed in unprecedented back-to-back bleaching events caused by extreme temperatures due to global warming. Scientists warn that 1.5°C of global warming will destroy at least 70% of the world’s coral Reefs. 2°C of global warming will kill off 99%.1

Coal is the biggest driver of global warming. Mining, burning and exporting coal is the key contribution Australia makes to the climate crisis. Coal is a danger to human health: it pollutes our air and kills workers and local communities.

Adani’s coal, once burnt, will create up to 4.6 billion tonnes of carbon pollution.2 Critically, Adani’s Carmichael mine would put in place the infrastructure needed to unlock the Galilee Basin, one of the largest untapped coal reserves on Earth, paving the way for at least eight more coal mines.

Queensland and India both have better energy options: renewables are cheaper and faster to build, without driving global warming.
